THE CHICAGO BANQUET.
CHICAGO, June 2O.--A more notable
gathering OF representatives from all
the leading interests of the city, has
seldom been witnessed than one that
assembled tonight in honor of Queen
VIct0ria'S jubilee. Around the
table in the great banqueting
hall of the Grand Pacific sat something
over 200 of Chicago's most prominent
merchants, lawyers, journalists, politi-
clans and divineS, feasting, singing and
speech making as tribute of respect to
the ruler of the British empire. Behind
the chairman, the Union jack and the
stars and stripes were twined together,
while all through the evening the music
and addresses alternated between
praises of England and her queen and
OutburSt of patriotic American Senti-
mentS. Great enthusiasm was aroused
by the reading of cOngratulatory cable
gram and address, which it was decided
TO send the queen in recognition pafticu-
larly of her interest in the welfare of
Chicago at the time of the great fire and
her aid in founding the city's public
library.
A RUAIPUS AT BOSTON.
Special to the Globe.
Boston, June 20. - The board of
aldermen about three weeks ago voted
to let the British Charitable society have
Faneuil hall for the purpose of celebrat
ing the queens jubilee. 1t has always
been the custom to allow citizens to use
the hall for public meetings, and alder
men voted in this case without much
consideration. When it became known
there was general indignation,
not only among Irish-Americans,
but among many old BoStOnianS,
who thought that it would be desecra-
lIoH. OtVeraI meetings were nelQ.
To-day, before the board of aldermen. a
motion to reconsider the vote was made.
The vote on this motion stood six to six,
so that reconsideration was denied. Six
lriSh-Americans voted to reconsider and
five Americans and one English-Amer-
lean cast their votes against it. At the
conclusion of the vote ten citi-
zens of Boston entered and
asked permission to use the hall
tonight to formally enter a protest
against the use of the hall for the meet
ing tomorrow night. This was granted,
and at O'Clock large crowd assembled
at Faneuil hall. Some miSunderstand-
ing about the permit caused about an
hours delay in opening the doors,
but finally the meeting was
called to order. Speeches were
made by John Boyle O'Reilly, Father
McKenna and others. They denounced
the granting of the use of the hall to
Englishmen to laud their queen, but
cOunseled earnestly that there be no
violence, rumors that it was intended to
storm the hall and break up the meet
ing having been circulated. The resO-
lutions of protest were carried amid the
greatest enthusiasm and the meeting
adjourned.
